Why should Christians
avoid the New International Version (NIV)?
NOV. 2 2004
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
The NIV is an obvious
deception. The examples that support this
observation are numerous. The NIV--deletes over 64,000
words including words like
mercyseat, Jehovah,
Godhead, Calvary, Lucifer, new testament, regeneration,
etc. There are forty whole verses deliberately
removed.
Here is a classic example why the NIV should be avoided:
NIV implies that David
Didn't Kill Goliath!
THE NIV
| Quote: |
| "...Elhanan
son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath
the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a
weaver's rod." |
THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES
VERSION
| Quote: |
| "...Elhanan
the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite,
slew the brother
of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was
like a weaver's beam |
.
The NIV is one of Satan's instruments that fosters his
lies and confusion. The NIV is not a compliment to God's
Word... it is in direct competition against God's Word.
A lie repeated often
enough, is received as truth.
What is the harm in
acknowledging the NIV as Bible? God answered that
when He said:
| Quote: |
For
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the
book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part
out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book.

Rev 22:18-19
Those who hold to the NIV
as God's Word will travel further into deception.
The NIV along with other translations: i.e.: RSV, NASV,
RASV, NKJV, NRSV, TLB, etc., are more than just
another attempt to discredit God's Word (KJV), they have a
gravitational pull towards a counterfeit faith that breeds
an attraction to fables (2 Tim.4:1,4).
Discerning believers realize the
danger that the NIV and its contemporaries sponsor. These
false representations of God's Word are Satan's subtle
tools to deceive the Church.
A Deceived Church is
useless to the World.
